Chlorido[(1,2,5,6-)-1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene]phenylplatinum(II)

A.-R. Song, I.-C. Hwang and K. Ha

Abstract: In the title complex, [Pt(C₆H₅)Cl(C₈H₈)], the Pt^II centre lies in a square-planar environment defined by the Cl and -bonded phenyl C atoms and the mid-points of the two -coordinated double bonds of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene. Because of the different trans influences of the Cl atom and the phenyl group, the Pt-C bonds trans to the phenyl group are longer than those trans to the Cl atom. The asymmetric unit contains four independent molecules with identical geometry within experimental errors.
